if the WC is to start next week i'll say it's in the bag, LCW's. but with paris almost 5 months away, who can tell?

I think we should be able to tell based on LD's form in the TC. He will have had 2 months to prepare after the Swiss Open. If he performs as mediocre as he did in the European tournaments, there's cause for serious concern.

I sense it's a little different this time. LD's lack of playing has really knocked him off kilter. It's like he having difficulty rediscovering his rhythm. Throw in questions about his desire and his aging body, and you can see why there is cause for concern.

Of course if he sweeps all before him (especially LCW), all doubts will be removed
